I was going on instinct here with "etcetera" since I don't know who put in
the sign, because I don't know if German Sign Language might have a
fingerspelling for it's letter "eszett".  Someone else on the list might
know.

Thanks, Val and Charles. It was mainly the gloss 'Eszett' that was 
causing me problems; I hadn't heard that word before. (Etcetera, I do 
know..)
